The piece opens with the arrival of Don Ra mirez. in Seville, ho is bent on this fortune-hunt- I s t g expedition,' accompanied by his servant Diego, and strongly recommended to the fa her of Laura, awaits his arrival with impatience, as his (more sr "o --l e-lavir.

D on ‘'arlos, as.usual, has also his valet, Pedrillo, who is V've and adroit at intrigue, and the counter part of Cgo, the other valet, who is as remarkable for his i n vnish simplicity and good nature. In the course of "piece these. two charade's are played off against each Other, and produce a ariety of laughable situa. tions. .The forsaken Donna Clara-also sets out for Se- ! ji lt, accompanied by. her steward, srttran, and her Zaiting_mael; where Bert tan having oiscovered brat '! °113 o Guzman was looking out for a Dtietina to at 'end on his daughter, waits on him in the charatter c ( a Coun t ry Sch oo l mas t er , to recommen d D onna I. l ars 'that capacity as his daughtei, and widow Of vincent flonez, a firmer.

This Opera is the acknoVdedged produCtion of Sir J ames Bland Burges, Bari. a Gentleman of well "own learning and poetical talents. It is the first Wirt of his dramatic Muse, with the exception of nat may be called a modernization of a play by 4IASSINGER. The Opera of last night, we under was originally written as a comedy, but in compliance with the desire of the Manager, and in onfurmity to the taste of the town; the author a dded songs to it, and entirely altet lag the artarige trieht of his scenes, moulded it into a piece of three ads, upon the usual plan of the English Opera. `Juder such .circumstances, the author . would be 'entitled to critical lenity, for having necessarily de triated from his original design, if the piece in its tr gent state had less intrinsic merit thAn it possesses. has been evidently the intention of the %titer r iot to approach so near the produce of sentimental Ir3 rriedy as to give hl4 play a tragic aspect, which h as been too often the case in modern comedies, llor yet to get into the other extreme of attempting to Pass off -broad farce as legitimate comedy.—Trie Plot is sufficiently intricate to keep curiosity alive, a nd to excite interest, but no. so involved a• toper th.x and contuse the audience. The Author, has, "wever, in no small degree interrupted the progress of the table, by introducing so many songs, as the c harms of music are too apt to draw offt he mind from t he subjea to which it ought only to be considered 4 s au ornamental appendage. The dialogue is in general neat and elegant. The s entiments are easy and natural, and there are many tifusions of humour and fancy, of a very whimsical a nd diverting nature. The songs displ iy a higher order of . poetical merit than is usually found in the d ramatic produttiuns of the present day. The cha. ract.t.rs of marked effect are Pedrillo, an arch and "Ilterprizing servant, distinguished for his spirit, and anothet servant, who is all . simplicity, ig norance, and tear. These characters form an enter taining contrast, particularly as the respective quali. t ies of each are employed in operation upon the e k ther. Th e s e c h ara ct ers were very we ll supported b y DOWTON and OXBERRY. MISS POOLE, who, we understand, is but sixteen Years of age, displayed feeling and good sense in Clara Miss KELLY was very spirited in Beatrice; 411 d MN. ORGER gave full effea to the part of Laura.' The other singing chara&ers were well %ustained by fixtuPps, HORN, and SMITH. The piece was alto g ether received i n a very fa *ourable manner, but the number of the songs, and t he frequency of the encores, by disturbing the pro tress of the table weakened its effect. The music is lery creditable t o tie ta l en t s of 114,:ssrs. REEVE and 41 0aN. The duets and trios display harmonic ex- Nlence, and the accompaniments are animated and t ot redundant. The piece was announced for this evening, with pearly the unanimous assent of a numerous and ele gant audience. ''i the We give s the following as a fa voura bl e spec i men song :- SONG—Miss POOLE. (Horn.) Alas ! could fond woman but know What anguish Love brings in his train, She would fly from the treacherous foe, - And render his stratagems vain. While we hail him a seraph divine. While our bosoms with rapture beat high, His toils round our senses entwine, And leave us to languish and sigh. • 016 -The him- sa l u- uence crit of COT • iy by inest nnrat ho Praia ► y )) is rmer fur a laic3. ceded from and they t o its, 11“:1), )ass,-ci from 'ODD, I :i - ~s ~ ier re, slii?

PESHALL, of the Royai Navy,who had been missing since 1806, is alive in the interior of Spanish America, whither he was sent from the coast on sustricion of his being a spy. , Lieut. PESHALL, of the Franchise frigate, was on the humane service 01 conveying a number of sick and wounded Spanish prisoners tO be landed at Cam peche, when the sdiootter whith lie commanded was wit\ ked on the coast•of Toba+co,•and no traces of any soul on hoard found, but the unceasing re searches of Lieut. PESHALL'S friends led to the re cently discovered circumstances relative to that Of ficer. The Admiralty and the Sp:•n'sh Go►ernnient• having kindly lent their zealous aid to arts i►'tmane object, it is hoped that Lieut. PssuALL. will soon be restored to his anxious relatives. Admital Sir GEORGE YOUNG, of the White, who died a few days ago at Formosa, his seat in Bork shire, w as ,in e of the oldest and bravest officers in the service. He was of BOiCAWEN's school, and during an honourably spent lite, performed some very bril liant things in general, as well as in sin g le a, tint's, both at home ant abroad, which his intimate friends, the immortal NELSON, and the late Capt. EDWARD TROMPSON, have so often witnessed. But flaying been either confined by tormenting gout, or bed tildert for many years past, his King and Country . have unfortunately been deprived of his services. His ritslv surviving son, Mr. SAMUEL YOUNG, inherits all his estates in Bc-ritshire and Surrey, together with his funded property. Lad> YOUNG is to liaise his town-house in Great Russell -street, Bloomsbury, additional to tier Ladyship's dowry. Among dif ferent legacies to other relatives and friends, he has willed a handsome one to Admiral Sir THOS. BOUL ,DEN THOMPSON. A vessel is just arrived from Spain. \Ve are sorry to hear that the brave General O'DONNELL, partly from the severity of his wounds, and partly from dis gust, had resigned his command. The French had been repulsed in an attack upon Nligninenza, and General DOYLE had left Tarragona, with a reinforce ment of 9,500 men, and a large supply of provi sions for that place; so that no apprehensions were entertained for its safety. SouLT, as well as AUGE REAU, is said to have been disgraced, and recalled from his command. The Spanish army of the cen tre was in a forward state of re-organization, and shortly expelled to present a formidable front to the enemy. Letters from Madrid, dated the 4th ult. state that three different attempts had been made to overthrow the French authority in that city, but that these en terprises had not succeeded, in consequence of the number of troops in garrison there, and the vigilance of King JO%EPH'S Government, by which the plans ,of the insurgents had been discovered before they were ripe for execution. Lord COCHRANE sailed from Portsmouth on Fri day, in his yacht, the Julie for Plymouth, whence he intends to proceed immediately on are excursion to Portugal. His brother, the Hun. Captain ARCHI BALD COCH RASE, accompanies him. The number of oxen slaughtered during the three last months of April, May, and June, in the Me tropolis, was 29,029 ; of calves, 804 - 9 ; of sheep, and lambs, 227,0b4 and at bOISCS, 2447. totrek. existence df a Club or So ciety for a purpose so dete - stable and repugnant to the common feelings of our nature, that by no word can it be described without committing an outrage Upon decency, has for some time been suspected by the Magistrate of Bow -street, who, cautiously conceal= ing the odious secret, abstained from taking any steps on the information they bad received, until:an opportunity should offer of surprising the whole gang. About two o'clock yesterday morning, three sepa rate parties of the patrole, attended by constables, were detached from Bow-street, upon this service, and such was the secrecy observed, that the object of their pursuit was unknown, even at that tudinent, to all but the confidential agents of Mr. Read, who headed the respeCtive parties. The enterplize was completely succesful.--We regret most deeply, that the information giNien at the office was 'found to be so accurate, that the Officers felt their:selves justified in seizing no fewer than 23 individuals, at a public house, called the White Swan, in Vere-streeti Clare Mat icet. They were taken to the watch house of St. Cle ment Danes, and from thence conveyed in hackney coaches, between 10 and 1 I yestelday morning, to Bow-street, for examination. • Such was the fury of the crowd assembled; in consequence of the cause of their apprehension becomi3g known, that it was with the utmost difficulty the prisoners could be ,saved from destruction. The Peace officers,who reso lutely defended their priioners,• behaved at the same time with great propriety.' Their forbearance to watds the enrage) multitude, the majority of whom were females, was exemplary ; for the showers of mud ua ith u filch the carriages were assailed, ren- Ave t the officers who attended behind, and on the coach boxes, any thing ,but human in appearance.— Tney were literally plaisteted over from bead to foot, as were the carriages, and even the horses. Bow- Street was crowded so as to be completely im passable ; and Such wa s the pressure at the Public Office, that the - Magistrates bound it necesssry to clo-e the doors. The following persons were first put to the bar, and gave their names and descriptions. Esau Hay cock, keeps a shop near the Yorkshire Stingo, New road. Jane Amos, alias Fox, lodger at the White Swim, the huuse in question. A servant out of place, disabled in the artn,..,l-IqAitr4 conviated and pillored some iittie'Since for unnatural prattices. Williarwrhompson, waiter, at a hotel in Covent- Garden. Henry Toogood j •serrant to , a;Gentieman Port land-place. Robert Aspioall, lodger, at No. 1, Brewer's-court, Great Wild -street, tailor. Richard Francis, a Corporal in'the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards. • James Cook, landlord' of the house, anti Pl,Lip Dot, the !Naiter. Samuel Taunton, the officer who had the execu tion of the warrant, slated that he and other 'officers went last night to the house, about eleven o'cloCk, and appveliended the before-named persons, except the landlord and waiter, in a back parlour. Tv, oof t he patrole gave an account of their being in. the I Pose last night previous to the execution of the warrant, and stated the particulars of the con versation and actions that passed while they, were in the ,parlour, but it is of too gross a nature to meet the public eye. These witnesses also stated their hive lug. seen similar proceedings in the saute parlour on the night of Sunday week, and identified several of the prisoners . as having been present at th at t i me . They were ordered to find bail for the misde meAnor,..a*till in default wete Committed to prison. .James Spittle, a servant, in Coancery-lane; Mat thew Saunders, of Duke -street, Aidgate; 'James Done; of Curtain Shoreditch Bricklayer ; W. Barrow, of Forilital's Inn ; John Reeves, of C.istte street, Leicester-fieids; traveller wit hgoods ; James Griffiths, Union -court, Hoilabrn, a servant out of place, (well known at Bow-'street);. Ed. (Lia,rie, a 'soldier in the 3d Guards; George Beal, a waiter' out of place, Judging at tire-leVnite Swan john Clarke, Union -court, Holbot n, a. servant - out of itiace ; 'Timothy .I\l:)rris, of Ternple-street, White iars, servant out. of place; Barnard Hovel, a sol dier in the Ist Guards ; Thomas Dixon, a soldier in the 3cl , Guards ; Michael Hays, a servant out of place. Al these prisonerS, except Dixon and Hayes, who were in a dark. kitchen, were bound in a room on the first, fl,Jor, but there being . no evidence of what took place, they IA eie all discharged except Done, who was - proved to have been in the hack parlour with the others, on the night of Sunday se'nnight. He was committed. - The crowd had by this time become•so great in Bow-street, particularly facing the Office, that it was almost impossible to pass, and most of those who were discharged. were very roughly handled ; several of them were hunted about the neighbour hood, and, with great ddiculty, escaped with their }ivies, although every exertion was used by the Con. stables and Patrole to prevent such - dangerous pro ceedings, and in doing which, many of them were very roughly treated themselves. SWIMMING.-Yesterday, Blackfriars Bridge was covered with spectators, in consequence of an ex traordinary exhibition on the River. Two water men swam against each other for a considerable wager; towing their wherries by ropes, which they held in their mouths. The contest was against tide, and in their passage through the arch of Blackfriars Bridge, the competitors displayed won derful strength and perfection in the art of SW 411.. Fl II F.—An alarming fire broke oat on Friday last, on the premises of Mr. Harrowby, a farmer at East Upton, Essex, which destroyed the house and a very extensive range of out-houses, cattle, rick yards, &c. The flames were first discovered issuing from a bake-house, over which labourers slept, about a quarter before twelve o'clock; bur how the fire happened has not been ascertained. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that in less than half an hour the out-houses in the several parts of the yard, at fifty yards distance frhm each other, were all on fire, and the whole had the appearance of a village on fire. About twelve head of cattle were destroy et, chiefly valuable horses. The flames were not sub dued in the rick-yard for two .days„ bEattliCK rthetD, ttiri 4. This good old tdWn, arnldSt the preonridest ternal tranquility, still cor.tinueS to present to th 4 traveller all the stieW and apptiratut of war. Having beew once the ancient barrier between Sot land and Engl;4)&4, still exhibits all the taiiiion s dis c i p lin e of a frontier .garrison. The walls are.sdrmounted with canti4i, and at every gate and bastion the pror per centinels are posted. At ten o'clock in the even* ing the gates are regularly shut, end are usuallyope t, • td at siX"iti* the morning. The barracks are 8 fine ancient building; forming a Spacious square; and the range of mrig:izines, though now neat, Unstbred, show the importance anciently iitteired i o this military poSt. Within these last few years, however, the walls and ba(,t ions hate been p:trtially disMaritled, and the greater part of the stationary glrriq.,n, con sisting of invalids, who here, and in All parts Scotland, are caqed foggies, have been s, , nt to Oikz ncy and other military SiatIOCIS in the nnrth. Their place is supplied by detachments of the Militia, or regular troops. •At present there are eight companies :Of tie Aberdeenshire Militia stationed here, who appear to be a very fine body of men ; and expect soon to proceed farther to, .the Soinh. The rest of the regiment are lying at Dunbar, and in the neighbourhoid, The parade gintind 'adjoining the barrack, is very spacious, and iS the usual resort in the evening of the few fishionabl• S resid,ng here, who are regaled with the usual military ititisic, and after ards walk along the wails d 'ram parts, till the close of the day reminds them of re- t iring. Berwi,k affords no accommodation for bathers but a village called Spital, on the south side or the hat bour, is a place ofconsiderable reiort during the bathing season, and has a very fine beach 10war..3 the open sea. ,The luxury of bathing machines, how;. ever, is here unknown, and the &rwick , 'rs and others from the adjacent counties, are satisfied ivith the smooth sands. The houses of accommod"tion being so very, near the beach, render this want the less sensibly felt. Spital has alio its mineral waters,-very much esteemed by certain classes of invalids. The spring is a strong Chalybeate, and is•sut.posed to be very efficacious, when drank after a certain portion of salt water, particularly in scorbutic aid scrophu-4 lons - complaints. Spital also abounds in doakivs but it is not their late, like their more forcunate brethren of the South, to be honoured by bearing the fair forms of female excellence. Their burdens are of a much grosser nature, but they are not less. useful, perhaps, to their possessors, being etri. , - played the whole year round. The. bathers at pre. , sent are but scanty, the usual-season having only jest commenced. This town, upon the whole, is rather on the dc' dine. The salmon fishery, the great staple here,. has been falling off for some years,. and has been less produdtive during this, than any former seasbn. The fishers', it is said, has, on the cont-ary, wuth lin~ proved in the more northern rivers. The incommo diousness df the harbour is much against the tos,, n of Berwick, as a place of general trade; but sone 4 attempts are now making to. remove this income.. niency. They have just begun a new pier, on the ancient site df one which they say exisied in the time of Queen Mary. It is intended to carry it out to the farthest beacon, being a distance of nearly hall a mile, which will render the harbour more sate and more easily accessible, while it will be ca• pable at the same time of accommotlathig a very extensive shipping. It begins on the North-east side of the town, and, from the bridge, will afford a key of nearly half a mile in extent. A breach is alteady made in the wall, from Silver-street, which opens the new harbour to the interior of the town, It will t ike seven years, it is supposed, to finish the projected plan, and large warehouses are already begun to be built in the principal lihe, that •will th e n lead from the quay. How far the expectations of the people of Berwick may be realised by these ien . proveiiients is Uncertain—but the necessity of at;. tempting soreeiteng is very evie.ent. .The town is very wealthy—but instead of applying their revenue to the general good, they divide the surplus among a certain number of the oldest freemen, whose num ber, for that reason, is limited, and therefore they, can admit no freeman, except in-the case of . a va cancy. The revenue that Many of the freemen en , joy from this source of emolument e is not less than 2b and 301. a year. This revenue of the town, if more generally and more judiciously applied, might render Ber,wick one of the most flourishing towns on' the Eastern coast. Nothing, perhaps ; would tend more at the sante rime to the Improvement of the town, than to pull down their useless and cum bersome walls. BOXING.—A spirited fistic combat betwixt Flow ers the provincial bruiser, and a man of the name of Keate, took place at Tavisti:ck, Wilts, on Sa turday last, on the estate of Major Whehlale, for a stake of two hundred guineas, the former having been backed by the Major, and Keate, who is an iron founder, by a purse from some amateurs in Cheshire, from whence he came to fight Flowers. It was agreed to be a stand up battle, and the com. batants appeared to meet eagerly. Keate had ne ver exhibited from his own country, and the eyes of three thousand amateurs and upwards were fix ed upon him. In the first round he gave more proof of bottom than skill, for he received a straight felt ward blow at length upon the temple, and not going down, he bored in upon Flowers, wino possesses some sci ence, and returned the blow by one accidental, but more desperate, on the ribs, and both fell. This round lasted nearly two minutes, and several blow s of less consequence were exchanged. Flowers had the best of the battle for half an hour, but not so much as to ensure ultimate success; for although he was enabled to plant a good hit at meeting, yet the hardihood of Keate was comparatively equal to the metal he wrought at, and he would not be denied, so that he often had the best of tie latter part of the round. Like a true glutton of the Crib school, Keane suffered his eyes to be lanced tor, a glitunler of sight, and by real hand fighting, his vvngitt, which was ,a stone more than Flowers, won him the battle, in one hour and ten minutes, at half mime time. Flowers had beat several good provincial boxers.— Keate will, it is understood, make his appearance in London, in a few days, and ent-r the regular list of fighting men. He is a twelve-stone novice, and a match for such a man as Pct - rers, or Cropley, as near as might be inferred, : i'
